Title: Forum spam Post by: jn.loudnotes on July 25, 2002, 08:35:30 pm I am starting this thread, which could be considered spam, to counter the problem of spam on this forum. It has gotten far out of control.
Being away from the forum a mere 24 hours means sifting through 2 full pages of topics. That's ridiculous. Moderators, either start cracking down much harder than you are, or relinquish your powers. In the meantime, let this thread be the holding spot for forum garbage. All of you, specifically SK, Brain, Typhy, Rapid, Bondo, myself, and any other excessively frequent poster use more restraint. When you feel you absolutely must post something, do it here. Examples: "Mauti's icon is cool" "bah" "I told you so" "what a stupid post..." If something references a thread, just state the name here instead of trashing that thread. Examples: who do you wub - "I wub myself" new admin - "why did you lock this" new admin - "you are an idiot here's why (list)" Do you get the idea? Let's make these forums enjoyable instead of a mountain that everyone hates to sift through. Until the problem is resolved, I also suggest that moderators keep this topic active at the front. This can be accomplished easily by posting once and then deleting your post. Thank you. Title: Re: Forum spam Post by: jn.loudnotes on July 25, 2002, 08:41:28 pm Great example there Rapid!
Especially the 8-10 wasted lines.... Title: Re: Forum spam Post by: Ace on July 25, 2002, 10:16:51 pm Loud, I felt exactly the same way you did. Between the time I went to bed last night and when I got home from work today, new topics were all the way to the second page, something I had never seen before. Part of this is just a general increase in forum activity. I have noticed a lot more people on the forums than before. But definitely the spam is getting out of control. Hell, I made a post warning about it yesterday and it's been buried to page two already. Don't jump on the mods just yet. We just got two new guys who probably aren't too sure yet of what exactly is good to delete and what isn't. I try to do my best, but when a whole page of new topics comes up in the time I sleep and work, there isn't much I can do. I just went on a little deleting binge and I'm ready for more, so don't push me *looks at SK, Rapid, et al*
Title: Re: Forum spam Post by: Bondo on July 25, 2002, 11:17:54 pm bah, my bah post was deleted despite Loud saying this is where to say bah.
Title: Re: Forum spam Post by: cookie on July 25, 2002, 11:49:46 pm I apologize here and now for whatever spam-crimes i have committed.
Title: Re: Forum spam Post by: jn.loudnotes on July 25, 2002, 11:55:50 pm Ace, you're right...I was a little too harsh on the moderators. It's the general post-spamming low-life scum that I really should be after 8)
Title: Re: Forum spam Post by: Brain on July 26, 2002, 09:21:04 am Yea, I think that at least one of my multipage attacks on SK got nuked by ace as he want on his massive moderating spree.
I'll try to cut down on my posting and poor attempts at assing SK. Sorry for any spam too. Loud, i just want to remind everyone who moved my thread about mauti's icon into general gossip. You are as guilty as me for that spam. p.s. In response to ppl who say I respond to everything. I just read a whole page of threads, and this was the only one I made. So there. Title: War, you want war? - You get war! Post by: *DAMN Mauti on July 26, 2002, 10:57:50 am Alright - Brain, Roy and Loud I gave you three moderator power to get the current situation under control. You both are very often online so I think you can help out the current mods. Ace I think you can need help against this mass of spammers, don't you. Loud and Roy if you don't want the job just drop me a line and Ill remove your rights again but Brain you wanted to be a mod now you are one but that doesn't give you the right to spam. Your posts can also be deleted. Also if I note that you don't stop to spam you are out again - No senseless short posts or questions. Any questions? - No, fine!
Guys you have full power also I got a private message from Hazard with suggestions to keep up the forum quality: You can warn people for spamming after the third warn or so I'll ban the person from the forum for one week. May you make a own thread where you warn spammer. Also don't hesitate to warn also *DAMNs who spam very much. If the thread is total bs you can delete it but at all I would prefer it when you just lock it. Bye, Mauti - and don't forget to leave a note if you modify someones post. Title: Re: Forum spam Post by: PsYcO aSsAsSiN on July 26, 2002, 01:12:40 pm done done and done. As for you Brain, don't start spamming just because you now had mod powers.

Hehe, depends on what you post. Staying on-topic should do you the trick. Oh, and go easy on the emoticons, SK. I think they're considered a spam, aren't they? |
